Good Me, Bad Me by Ali Land

3.0

This book was good... entertaining. Definitely gave me creepy vibes, but wasn't too thrilling. it honestly just felt like a fiction book about a girl who's mother was a killer, ya know what i mean? it just didn't hit. it didn't FEEL like a thriller.
The Half of It by Madison Beer

I've been wanting to read this memoir for a while, and it did not disappoint. I've been a fan of Madison's ever since "Selfish" came out. She just seems like one of the most genuine, pure souls out there. After reading this book, it made me feel a little less alone and for that I thank her. She is beautiful. Her story is beautiful. So so proud of her.

This book was soooo good!! Mary Kubica's writing is so easy to follow! I also loved how we got 3 pov's in this book: her mom, the detective, and the kidnapper.

Mia goes to a bar one night after her boyfriend ditched her. She meets this guy, and goes home with him. Little does she know this guy was on a mission to kidnap her in exchange for money. He takes her to drop her off but instead he drives them to a cabin that no one knows about...

Loved this book!!

I absolutely loved this book!! THE BANTER was probably my favorite part. Just how Stevje literally hated Zander and Zander loved pissing stevie off!! it was literally amazing! Not gonna lie i was angry throughout the whole book bc i just wanted them to be together and I feel like everytime things were going well, something happened. but i think that's what made the whole book so good, bc in the end we finally got to see them happy.

Emily McIntire is truly so talented. The way i can read her books so fast but also fall in love with the characters and the story is crazy. 

Julian and Yasmin grow up together. Julian works for her dad. Unfortunately, yasmin's dad falls ill and the only wish he has is for his daughter to be married so that someone takes care of her after he passes. Julian wants what will go to Yasmin after her dad passes. So the only thing to do? Get married. But the problem is... they can't stand each other. 

I absolutely loved this book and this whole series.

This book was so sweet! Usually I don't like the pregnancy trope in books, but this one was done so right!!

Eve finds out she's pregnant after a one night stand. She tells the father of the baby and he confides in her and tells her he's back with his girlfriend. Unsure and alone, she turns to her best friend Willa. But Willa has a hard time taking the news of Eve's pregnancy bc she was trying to get pregnant herself. So Shep, Willa's brother steps in and takes care of Eve through her pregnancy. Only thing is, they catch feelings for each other. 

I absolutely loved Shep. He actually might be my favorite book boyfriend yet. Such a cute romance 
The Summer Girl by Elle Kennedy

Elle Kennedy has to be one of my favorite authors. This one is not my favorite. If i had to rank them this one would be my least favorite. But i still really enjoyed it.

Cassie and Tate meet when Tate is being broken up with (friends w benefits) and Cassie is eavesdropping. Cassie is on a quest to find a summer fling. Tate and Cassie hit it off from the start and have so much chemistry but Tate rejects Cassie and puts her in the friend zone, but promises to help her find someone to fling with. The question is, will he help her or end up becoming her summer fling in the end?

I adored Cassie and Tate and everyone else in this series. No complaints about this read.

This book was a cute lighthearted read. i enjoyed reading about Ransom and Liv and their character development was top tier. I also really loved the social media posts that we could read bc it kinda made me feel like it was gossip girl.

With that being said, i just didn't connect with the story, or the characters. i didn't find myself wanting to pick up the book, even though i did finish it in 2 days. i think the writing was just not for me.

Nevertheless, still a solid read
